Greetings Iron Chefs. Hope this meet you well.

I'll like to share my recipe for my mushroom pepper soup.

I found this mushroom along a farm. It sprout from the soil so I plucked one, perceived the aroma to know if it's edible mushroom or not.
From the aroma, I knew it's edible so I uprooted them all and took it home.

Steps

First thing I did was to soak in warm water to breakdown the soil particles, carefully removing all dirt from the mushroom. Then I cut off part of the root stem.

Then I transferred it to my pot

After that, I went to pound my pepper. The quantity of pepper here wasn't enough so I had to add more pepper in between the cooking because I wanted a really spicy pepper soup.

Then I went in with my pepper, diced onions, stock cube, multipurpose curry powder and salt.

Then I stirred to mix the ingredients together, added little water and placed on fire to cook.

Mushroom is steaming...
It was at this point I realised the pepper wasn't enough so I added more pepper and allowed it to continue steaming. Then I added the quantity of water I needed in my pepper soup. About 2 glasses.

In my country, there is no pepper soup without scent leaf. It adds spices and flavor to pepper soups.
So I plucked few leafs of scent leaf along side curry leaf from our mini garden at the back of the house.

Sliced curry leaf and scent leaf.

After cooking the mushroom till it was tender, I added the scent leaf and curry leaf, gave it a good stir, covered the pot and allowed it to cook for some seconds.
And my mushroom pepper soup is ready to be served!

And ready to be devoured.

Conclusion
I was able to achieve the spicy level desired. And I enjoy everything bit.
Unfortunately, it wasn't the regular soft kind of mushrooms I'm use to. If I had know that, I probably would had cut off more stem making it shorter.
But regardless, it was savoury and delicious.

Thank you and have a wonderful day ahead!
